A Thorn Among Roses

EN – “A Thorn among Roses” is my last paint. I must admit it’s an artwork that leaves me particularly satisfied, because I managed to make the expression I wanted, and the impact of colors on paper is even more powerful than the project in my mind!
This artwork did not start with the intent of representing a particular meaning, and therefore has a fairly simple subject, where this time the black has a role a bit different from the usual, it’s a more integral part of the design than simple contour lines, but both this aspect and the apparent simplicity of the subject have been desired and sought, because this artwork has been realized to be the pictorial contralto of a linocut, with the same identical subject, and the same color tones. A rather ambitious project, in fact!… we’ll see if, pleasing to the Muses, it will turn into reality!
“A Thorn among Roses” makes his debut at the Jackson’s Emerging Artist Prize, a competition for emerging artists that rewards with visibility on sites and magazines, and vouchers to buy artistic material, which is always needed, right?!
